90 day cutting diet and full progress report

[milky01623]

Hi guys hope your all well???
Well below is what I intend to do over the next 90 days with continual update reports
I've decided on 90 days to begin with as I need to drop to around 15% bf from around 25-27%bf as I want to cycle early next year ,cos I'm fed up of seeing guys on holiday that are obviously juicing but just look like they are carrying too much water and fat lol
Not really I want to cycle for me
Here are my stats

Age 41
H 5'10"
W 95.4kg
Bf circa 27%
Tdee 2618 cals

Meal 1 breakfast shake 2:1 pro oats
Cals 460 55p 37c 10f

Meal 2 2 boiled eggs 100g chicken 40g weetabix
Cals 435 47p 29c 12f

Meal 3 100g chicken banana 2 fish oils
Cals 275 29p 27c 0f

Meal 4 250g cottage cheese
Cals 152 27p 10c 0f

Meal 5 100g beef steak sweet pot spinach
Cals 328 34p 30c 8f

Meal 6 casein
Cals 222 47p 6c 4f

Totals. Cals 1872
Pro. 249
Carb 130
Fat. 31

That's my diet for now some variations may occur but macros etc will be around the same

WORKOUT
I can only do full on lifting on Saturday and Sunday so what I'm intending to do is 1 set of everything but at max weight and 25 reps
Eg bench press 90 kilo for 25 reps
Incline press 70 kilo 25 reps
And so on I'm sure you get the idea I'll also combine this with a lot off cardio
Whilst at work I'll be utilising a 12kg kettle bell and also going for runs for about 30-45mins

Well there you have it please feel free to give me feed back and please please please kick my erse when I need it
Thanks for reading and your input milky

[milky01623]

Well day one nearly over and I can report that all macros have been hit

Monday is a rest day for me as I have to be up at 3am for work and I've only just finished and tbh I'm shatterd
Tomorrow kettle bell day

[Back In Black]

Can you double check your calculations and confirm? I have your carbs at 139 and your pro way lower than the total listed?

[Back In Black]

And I'd rather see your lifting days to be heavy lifting days, reps 6-10, except legs which can be 15 reps or so.

[milky01623]

I've had a quick check and your right I'll re do it at the weekend
Day 2
I'm ill usure if it's the change in diet after my hols but everything I eat is coming out as water at a very alarming rate and I feel drained so unfortunately I've Mossad 2 meals so far but I'm gonna try a shake later

Well, at least you are guaranteed to lose weight that way!!!!!

[milky01623]

Yeah but I would like to feel better lol
Would 1 set of 25 reps at absolute max weight not be as effective as 6 to 10 and 3 sets

[Back In Black]

If you're only bothered about muscular 'endurance' then 25 reps is GI e but you'd need more than 1 set. If you are more interested in gaining, then somewhere between 6-12 reps is where you want robe, again, for sets!

I only suggested that 1 set at max as I read somewhere that would maintain muscle whilst cutting but having said that I'd rather grow whilst on diet
What would you suggest ?

I'll send you something over soon. How long will your workouts be?

[milky01623]

I'll send you something over soon. How long will your workouts be?

I'm aiming for around 90 mins ed but this will probably grow as it will include cardio

[milky01623]

Good news!!!!!!!
Feeling better this morn and have had meal 1 hopefully I'll b able to swing my bell later :-)

[Back In Black]

Ok bud, I will send you something over soon. Hopefully you are starting to feel a little more 'solid'!?

[milky01623]

Day 3 nearly over and I don't feel well enough to swing my bell (my tummy still feels dodgy)
I've managed to eat all my meals thus far and meet my goals for the day
CAN ANYONE HELP????????
My last meal consists of ground beef and sweet potato,I eat this anywhere between 8 & 10pm is this a good idea eatin a complex carb so late as I normally goto bed at 11 and also have a casein before I sleep

[Back In Black]

If it fits your macro's it's fine. But, if you are eating red meat in the evening that's a slow enough digesting protein to not worry about the casein after.

Did you get any Imodium?

[milky01623]

Did you get any Imodium?

No but I think I'll source some tomorrow lol
I really need a good workout this weekend to kickstart everything and a dodgy gut isn't going to help

[milky01623]

Anyone with feedback pls

[--->>405<<---]

im not a fan at all of the smith for bench! IMO u should go free weight and if a spotter is the prob switch to dumbells!

shoulders look good to me

tris i like 1hand pushdowns too and close grip bench! i also like 2 hand pushdowns with ropes..

[Back In Black]

You should be 3 working sets after warm ups!

Thanks for the input it's not a spotter it's that the biggest free weight is only 45kg about 95lbs
So if I'm pressing 90kg on a smiths what sort off weight do I need for db's

Tris that's how I do mine but instead of rope I use my own v bar that pivots to keep inline push

[milky01623]

You should be 3 working sets after warm ups!

I see what u mean so I should do
10-8-8-6
Light work work max

[Back In Black]

Warm up
Warm up
Maybe another warm up
Failure
Failure
Failure

[milky01623]

Warm up
Warm up
Maybe another warm up
Failure
Failure
Failure

So do 3x warm ups say 10reps each then max weight to fail
I'm thinking maybe just 2 exercises per body part as suggested otherwise I'll not fit my cardio in
Thought I could do more in 90 mins but I'm defiantly wrong maybe later lol
Dang your always right Mr Miyagi
